Midlands based AV and digital arts collective Modulate have had a new piece of work selected for display in a uniquely designed construction called the [of] Capsule, which was recently showcased at Nemo Festival in Paris and Elektra festival Canada, and which will form part of an  Optofonica exhibition in Amsterdam in July

Developed in Amsterdam by Optofonica Foundation, ARCADI, and TEZ, the Capsule is designed to enable the viewer/listener of audio visual artworks to be immersed in a diffusion of spatialized and tactile sound – low frequencies are transduced directly into the bone system of the human body, converting the sound into hyper-perceivable vibration.

Modulate are currently planning to bring the Capsule to Birmingham as part of a micro AV festival in 2009.

 Modulate’s AV artworks have previously featured at the Austin Museum Of Digital Arts Texas, New Forms Festival Canada, Optofonica Festival Amsterdam, Mediateca Caixaforum Barcelona,  Sounds Electric festival Ireland and Sonar Festival Barcelona
